VI . SPILL PREVENTION Where it is possible for oil spillage from storage tanks or facilities to reach a stream, appropriate containment and/or _ diversion structures or equipment must be employed. There are a number of workable control systems that can be utilized, such as: a) Dikes, berms or retaining walls sufficiently impervious to contain spilled oil. b) Curbing. c) Culverting, gutters, or other drainage systems. d) Weirs, booms or other barriers. e) Spill diversion ponds. f) Retention ponds. g) Sorbent materials. If new storage tanks or facilities are to be installed, the need for control systems can be minimized if they are isolated from the drainage area of streams. Plant Management is responsible for ensuring that all appropriate personnel are knowledgeable of the requirements specified in this Plan and that all personnel are capable of implementing the necessary control and reporting procedures, should a spill occur. Plant personnel will conduct spill prevention briefings initially and at intervals frequent enough to assure that all personnel maintain an adequate understanding of the SPCC Plan. Briefings should highlight and describe known spill events, problem areas, and newly developed preventive techniques and control measures. _ The Plant Superintendent will assist in the training and orientation of facility personnel as required. Contractors The following rules must be followed by all contractors and vendors while working on the property of KRC Aggregate: 1.
